Hisserdude Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Anyone here have experience with the big-eyed bugs, family Geocoridae? I caught one yesterday and three more today, and I'd like to keep them. All I know is that they are predatory. Anyone familiar with their care? Thanks in advance!

Salmonsaladsandwich Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Presumably just keep em well lit and feed them fruit flies? Pic see why you'd want to keep them, a couple months back I saw two chasing eachother around on some leaves and thought they would be interesting to observe because they're so active, running around everywhere looking for aphids and such to eat.

Hisserdude Posted December 12, 2015 Author Share Posted December 12, 2015 Yeah, I'll feed them small prey like cockroach nymphs and tiny mealworms, I don't have fruit flies. Just wondering, why well lit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmonsaladsandwich Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Because they're diurnal and like sunshine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmonsaladsandwich Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 In my experience anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
